About the production
A chilling study in mounting terror, The Haunting of Hill House brings a small group of psychically receptive people together in a brooding Victorian mansion known as a place of evil and contained ill will.
Led by Dr Montague, who is conducting research into supernatural phenomena, the visitors come to uncover the secrets of the old house and draw forth the mysterious powers said to possess it: powers that have brought madness and death to those who lived there before.
